    I have been to this restaurant multiple times and it never disappoints. Hands down one of the best steakhouses in Toronto. All the food tastes fresh and every dish we had did not disappoint. The sushi is excellent. Highly recommend getting the Spicy Tuna & Soft Shell Crab Rolls. Table side Caesar is also a must. My only suggestion would be the dessert menu needs some work, and the dishes need more flavor, but nothing I will remove a star for. Service was excellent. Shout out to Terrance for making our night fantastic!

    Mamakas is an absolute gem! The vibe of the restaurant was fantastic, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our evening even more special. The food was nothing short of delicious—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu, which made our dining experience even better. My party of four opted for the Chef Tasting Menu at $75 per person, and it was worth every penny. It allowed us to enjoy a little bit of everything they had to offer, and each dish was better than the last. If you’re looking for a place that combines amazing food, great ambiance, and excellent service, I highly recommend Mamakas. We’ll definitely be back!

    I sat at the counter and felt it was the best seat in the house. I got to see the chefs in action, preparing the food and offering to answer any questions I had about the menu and what they were cooking. Very friendly, relaxed and welcoming restaurant. I felt the food was very good, and that I got good value for the price. Would recommend the restaurant, and plan on visiting and having a few of the other dishes which looked delicious. Very different vibe than many other places, which was refreshing, you felt like you were being hosted at a friends home.
